Initially in his career he was struggling in T20 (IPL) where he even got dropped and was benched for many matches when he represented Sunrisers Hyderabad. He was doing well in longer format for domestic teams. Now things are vice versa, he has a impressive T20i record and is also first name for his IPL side. His expansive stoke play is giving him success in T20i but the impact of that is seen in test format. Temperament is an issue. He is not someone who will grind multiple sessions.
The way he bats, he will be better for T20i. And his career stats too reflect that. His worst format is tests. Averages 37 which is below par for an Indian specialist batsman. Now averaging worse than even Rohit Sharma in tests.
